Bees make honey with nectar
they collect from the flowers
around them. It is this nectar
that gives honey its unique
color and flavor.

Our wildflower honey is a symphony
of flavors, produced as our
bees visit horsemint, Indian
blanket, agarita and other wildflowers
that bloom every spring in our
beautiful corner of Texas.

In the rugged brush country
Southwest of San Antonio, the
huajilla plant blooms in late
April and early May. Our bees
in Frio and Medina Counties
use the huajilla nectar to make
a light, smooth honey that many
consider the best tasting honey,
bar none.

When conditions are right, our
bees feast on the prolific blooms
of the mesquite trees in late
June or early July. Since our
weather is hot and dry by then,
and most of the spring flowers
have faded, we sometimes are
able to harvest our “mesquite
honey” and distinguish it from
the wildflower honey produced
earlier in the year. But mesquite
blossoms are unreliable, and
our South Texas mesquite honey
is not made every year, making
it even more highly prized when
it is produced.

Our Honey Varieties
Because of limited supplies
and high demand not all honey
varieties are available throughout
the year.
